Wind Report Description: The derecho continued to progress quickly towards the east-southeast. It inflicted more widespread wind damage down the western Mohawk Valley. Tree and structural damage was quite common over central and southern sections of the county. Additional reports of large hail were also noted. Severe storms initially entered the county in Verona just before 200 am EDT. A large swath of trees was toppled or damaged just north of the Thruway and along route 31 near Verona Station and Dams Corners. Portions of route 31 became impassable as large tree limbs and power lines blocked the roadway. Further downstream from Westmoreland southward to the Waterville area, more extensive tree damage was seen. Several homes in Westmoreland suffered structural damage as large trees crashed through the roof or the garage. From roughly 215 to 220 am EDT, the storms tore through the Utica and New Hartford areas with considerable tree damage. In downtown Utica, many of the primary thoroughfares were closed through at least the morning hours on Labor Day as streets were covered with large tree limbs, downed wires, and warped traffic signals. A portion of Interstate 790 just north of Utica was also closed for a short time as a large road sign was toppled onto the highway. In New Hartford, a restaurant had its windows blown out with major damage to the kitchen and seating areas from flying glass and debris. Large hail to golf ball sized in diameter was observed in Clinton and Kirkland. Several automobiles had dents and other minor damage from the hailstones.

Wind Report Description: The derecho that caused extensive wind damage upstream in both Cayuga and Seneca counties continued eastward across Onondaga county. Widespread structural damage resulted and tens of thousands of trees were toppled in northern portions of the county. Direct human impact was also felt. Two fatalities and seven injuries occurred at the New York State Fairgrounds in Geddes. The bow echo complex first entered northwestern sections of the county just after 100 am EDT. It initially tore through the Baldwinsville area, leaving many streets littered with downed trees and utility poles. The storms progressed rapidly towards the east-southeast and affected an area from Clay across Onondaga Lake to Camillus and Geddes from 115 to 120 am EDT. Severe damage was inflicted upon the State Fairgrounds in Geddes. Most of the temporary holding structures or tents on the premises were either completely destroyed or sustained heavy damage. Unfortunately, two individuals who were camping out before the last day of the New York State Fair died that night. A 26 year old man was killed when he was struck by flying debris from a nearby building. A 38 year old man, who was a vendor at the Fair, was killed when a large tree fell upon the tent where he was sleeping. Seven other individuals had minor injuries, mostly cuts and scrapes from flying glass. Three large flag poles at the entrance to the Fairgrounds were bent to almost a 45 degree angle from the force of the wind. Many permanent buildings had roofs torn off, windows blown out, or siding severely damaged from felled trees. In Marcellus and Camillus Townships, an estimated thousands of trees were blown down just in this area alone. The Onondaga Hill section appeared to take on particularly severe damage with most roadways rendered completely impassable from downed trees and live wires. Several homes also had various degrees of siding and roof damage in this vicinity, mainly from falling trees. The storms then took aim on the Syracuse metropolitan area. From approximately 125 to 135 am EDT, the city of Syracuse felt the brunt of the derecho. An estimated many thousands of trees were toppled or damaged throughout the city. One of the hardest hit sections was the Thornden Park area near Syracuse University. In addition to tree damage, there was substantial structural damage (primarily roofs) to nearby homes and buildings. Another fatality occurred in this vicinity when a large tree crashed through the roof of a home and struck an elderly woman who was sleeping. She later died from extensive head injuries. A textile factory had its roof almost completely torn away and many housing units for students at Syracuse University had blown out windows or damaged sections of the roof. St. Lucy's Church, a sturdy brick structure, was nearly destroyed when its western steeple collapsed. Many windows were also blown in at the University Hospital. On the north side of town, an official wind gust to 75 mph was recorded at Hancock International Airport. The storms maintained their intensity as they moved rapidly through the eastern suburbs. Large hail to one inch in diameter was observed by a skywarn spotter in Manlius. Another spotter in DeWitt measured a wind gust of 75 mph. Much in the way of downed trees and structural damage was again reported. A strip mall and fire station both in the town of Manlius had their roofs entirely torn off. Two large antennas just south of Interstate 481 in DeWitt collapsed and interrupted local radio broadcasts. In all, the financial toll from damage fell just short of 100 million dollars. The final day of the New York State Fair was cancelled and the National Guard was called on to help with the cleanup efforts. Onondaga county ultimately qualified for federal disaster funds after officials toured the area and reviewed post-storm damage surveys. These surveys revealed a damage swath 10 to 12 miles long and nearly 30 miles wide. Estimated peak wind gusts were near 115 mph. Hundreds of thousands of people were without power for much of Labor Day. Some customers did not have their power restored for the better part of a week.

Wind Report Description: The derecho which inflicted wind damage upstream to the northwest, including Seneca county, ripped across northern and central parts of Cayuga county between 100 and 130 am EDT. Much wind damage resulted. Most of the damage was in the form of downed trees and power lines, but there was a concentrated area of structural damage from Port Byron southwestward to Montezuma. The line of severe thunderstorms first entered the county around 100 am EDT and affected an area from Montezuma to Throop to Port Byron between 100 and 110 am. It was in this region that the greatest damage occurred in the county. In the town of Port Byron, a 150 year old Presbyterian Church was nearly leveled by the ferocity of the wind. Portions of its steeple and bell tower were blown several hundred yards and actually caused some damage to adjacent structures. In Montezuma and Throop, many trees and utility poles were uprooted, with several landing on nearby cars and homes. Dozens of homes in this area sustained siding and/or roof damage. In the city of Auburn, the storm came through around 115 am EDT and felled numerous trees and power lines. On the north side of town, damage to homes was more pronounced with roofs torn off of several buidings, including a department store. A few minor injuries were caused by flying debris in this section of town. The storms exited the county shortly before 125 am EDT with more tree damage in the town of Owasco. Ten vacation homes in the Highland Beach area on the eastern side of Owasco Lake took on minor damage in the form of blown out windows, ripped off shingles, and damaged aluminum siding. Damage estimates were close to 20 million dollars for the county. Portions of Port Byron and Auburn in the hardest hit areas were without electrical power for close to 3 days. Cayuga county eventually qualified to receive federal disaster relief money.

Tornado Report Description: The NWS confirmed that an F2 tornado was responsible for significant damage that occurred in Lynbrook. Most of the village received damage from straight line winds up to 80 mph, that was associated with a severe squall line. Downed trees covered the village with some structural damage where the F2 tornado touched down.The major path of damage was from the northwest section of Lynbrook east-southeast to the southeast section of the village. Funnel clouds were observed from near the intersection of Marshall Ave. and Burtis Street and to the southeast. A tornado was first sighted by two eyewitnesses on Hampton Place. It rose and touched down several times: Second, near Winter Street and across Glover Circle; Third, along Peninsula Blvd. between Earle and Benton Avenues; and Fourth, as a weak F2 near the intersection of Rocklyn Ave. and Merrick Road. It moved across the Long Island Railroad Tracks and Sunrise Highway before it finally dissipated.More than three hundred trees were blown over, many on houses and cars. Six people received minor injuries. Four of these were in "The Fun Zone" on Rocklyn Avenue. One woman was slightly injured by a tree that fell on her car. One police officer was also injured.

Tornado Report Description: An F1 tornado occurred across Northcentral Clark. There was significant damage to large trees. A narrow path of large trees were sheared off more than midway down their trunks near the Cali Center at 100 Walnut Avenue. The Mayor of Clark estimated that the township lost at least 150 trees. Based on radar signatures and eyewitness reports, wind gusts were estimated at 110 mph.

Tornado Report Description: An F0 tornado touched down in a highly populated residential area from Northern Plainfield east across Southern Scotch Plains. Signs of rotation were evident in damage to trees and eyewitness reports included the sighting of funnel clouds. The Mayor of Plainfield estimated that the township lost at least 95 trees.
